As nonprofits, we are increasingly called on to reimagine how we find inno- vative solutions together and to reinvent how we define then recommit to our common good. As a first step, nonprofits need the resources and genuine part- nerships to navigate these remarkable times and to think boldly and creatively. Nonprofits need the support of businesses and their people and there are many ways to engage with them: FROM THE GIVING GUIDE PARTNER Mainebiz® (ISSN# 1530-0749) is published bi-weekly 29 times a year, including special issues published in July, September, October and December by New England Business Media LLC.

Have conversations with the nonprofits you know. Get to know them on a deeper level to gain a better understanding of where their needs are the greatest. e workforce shortage has put a strain on nonprofit people across the board, so consider how you are either creating or removing barriers to support for them through your interactions. 2. Get your people engaged. Professionals from all backgrounds are needed to serve on nonprofit boards and committees. Board service is a great way to give back to your community, grow your professional network, tap into your pas- sions and special skill sets, and even learn something new. Nonprofits are always looking to enhance their boards with new perspectives and talent. 3. Keep being generous and collaborative. When nonprofits are seen as essential partners and valued collaborators, amazing things can happen. Creative col- laborations with businesses, along with generous flexible financial investments, have been key in helping our communities heal from the pandemic. e organizations presented here in the Giving Guide are a snapshot of the incredible nonprofit sector in Maine that employs 1 in 6 Maine workers. We invite you to seek out and connect with the organizations in your communities to learn about their mission and vision, and how you can best support them. Meaningful and lasting change will only result from working in tandem and over time with many voices and organizations. We are making progress, but there is much more to do. MANP is honored to work and learn alongside you.
